Both mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() and mem_cgroup_move_account() were
unnecessarily disabling preemption when adjusting per-cpu counters:
    preempt_disable()
    __this_cpu_xxx()
    __this_cpu_yyy()
    preempt_enable()

This change does not disable preemption and thus CPU switch is possible
within these routines.  This does not cause a problem because the total
of all cpu counters is summed when reporting stats.  Now both
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() and mem_cgroup_move_account() look like:
    this_cpu_xxx()
    this_cpu_yyy()
